Reading these comment sections is always a fucking baffling experience: On one side there's people who projectile vomit at the thought of meat and act like this is the utterly universal experience, and on the other side there's people who don't eat potatoes because they're vegetables and who insist that all vegan meat substitutes decompose on exposure to the atmosphere.

I sincerely hope these are all just bots, because if you people actually live like this it's very sad.
In reality, vegan meat substitutes are very very very obviously perfectly fine aside from the fact that the title of this post is borderline a lie, i certainly don't see anything remotely like this on my store shelves where vegan meat generally costs 10-20% more than the equivalent pork or chicken product.

If vegan meats were actually clearly cheaper than animal protein all poor people would be flocking to it, but that certainly doesn't seem to have happened yet..

fake meat works absolutely fine, it's been a solved problem for literally 60 years: Textured Vegetable Protein.

god this stuff is so fucking funny, it's so over the top that it's obviously not true

right? here in sweden it's still mind-bogglingly expensive for being some fucking processed beans/wheat, i can buy ground pork and chicken for WAY less money than almost any vegan meat substitute.

it's cool if you think that, but it's demonstrably not true for most people who are used to meat. I have tried vegan dishes without meat substitutes and at best it's okay.

i can buy charcoal at the grocery store and use that on a public grill
i can't do the same with propane 😔

i mean, presumably the melanin just turns the radiation into heat? Which yeah is technically harnessing energy but it isn't exactly creating ATP

i mean we are constantly bathed in ionizing radiation, just not that much of it.
Plus, maybe life just evolved on earth a lot earlier than we thought? In that case it might well have been exposed to greater levels of radiation than we currently are.

was cash ever actual paper? I'm pretty sure the US dollar has been cotton since it was first created, only actual paper money i can think of would be proto-cash in the form of bonds and whatnot.

reminder that every time people complain about wokeness they're literally just complaining about being conscious about systemic racism, because that's what woke means.

Just replace "woke" with "being a decent person" and it becomes pretty clear what these people want.
